You now have access to a software that could instantly
transform you into an
artist. Amaze your family and friends with your
'hidden' talent - your memorable photographs can now be
transformed into nothing short of original masterpieces.
That's the power of SketchMatrix... the ultimate tool for
creating professional quality sketch art from a photo or
an image.

Using SketchMatrix is
very simple, and yet, the results look amazingly
professional and realistic - in detail as well as quality. While a simple sketch
can be produced in seconds with just a few mouse clicks,
extensive configurability is provided for greater control and
creating your own unique style. More than mere sketches, you
will be able create interesting and very original art.

This is not your average sketch filter as available in some
popular image editors. With SketchMatrix, you can define and customize
various aspects of a sketch drawing such as Outline, Features,
Shading, Detail, etc. Eight-way positional bias controls are
provided to further vary each of these parameters. Amount
and detail for each of the attributes can be
varied independently, to
create the mix that looks just right.

Create sketch art in black & white,
or in actual colors matching the source image.
Either way, Neuraltek's proprietary neural net controlled
dynamic parameterisation ensures that the line work and detail
mimic the variability and artistic touch of an expert
artist.

Further customisation can be done by varying red, green, and
blue glaze, focus, intensity, luminance, and a realism control
to breath life into your sketches.

All effects are applied in real time WYSIWYG preview mode.
Users can save their custom settings as a unique sketch style,
that can then be applied to create other sketches without
having to redefine the parameters.

technology brief

Traditionally, computer generated
sketches have been skimpy on detail, often resembling a poor distorted print of the
original image. Computer algorithms generally work to a set
script, treating all input to the same formula.
In contrast, art done by a professional
artist has the touch of class that comes from the 'human'
ability to introduce subtle variations, randomness, and
dynamism into the work. To overcome the static nature of
computer generated art, Neuraltek has developed filters
that try and mimic the humanness aspect of art. We call
this
Dynamic Parameter Paradigm. These filters
depict an ability to simulate real world
variability and subtleness of art. First introduced in the
much applauded RealLifeColour technology, DPP changed the
way colorization was perceived by critiques the world
over, and spawned products such as BlackMagic Color (for
photo colourisation) and Timebrush Film Colourization
Studio.
SketchMatrix inherits from this lineage, providing an
unprecedented degree of realism for computer generated
art. This is hopefully reflected in the sample results
shown above.

Technology
by itself can never be a panacea; it requires human
ingenuity and experience to become useful. Neuraltek has a
legacy of technological innovation since 1992, and clearly
understands this. Every new technology developed at
Neuraltek receives a generous dose of human nurturing by
specific domain experts; only then it's considered fit for
release as a product. SketchMatrix is no exception - all
controls and parameters have been carefully designed in
consultation with a team of artists so as to be
intuitively simple to use, and to work in natural real
worldly fashion.
